Take This Job...

Where:
Atlanta Contemporary Art Center
535 Means St. NW
Atlanta 30318

What:

Most people do not have a choice about working; they must. Day Job: Georgia brings together 15 artists whose various modes of employment have a clear link to the art that they produce. What is clear about the artists in this exhibition is that their art is empowered by the skills, materials, and rituals of their day job. Their works address the ways in which labor can be boring, humorous, stressful, and satisfying. Selected from a statewide call for submissions that yielded hundreds of applicants, those chosen work in the food, architecture, gardening, sales, security, customer service, home improvement, and childcare industries.
